We love getting in the patriotic spirit to celebrate the 4th of July, and we’re ready to show you how to stylishly decorate your space with Independence Day colors. Fashionable well beyond the holiday of fireworks, here are 10 clever ways to update your home with red, white and blue decor.
1. Go for hues of red and blue

If the traditional red, white and blue colors don’t fit your year-round style, choose hues that do. A softer blue on the wall and punches of different reds throughout the room give a lively contrast to white bedding and wall decor.
2. Create a red, white and blue oasis

Red flowers and furniture, white lights and blue water cleverly turn your backyard into a patriotic oasis to celebrate the 4th of July and any other occasion.
3. Make the guest room blue

If your living room doesn’t have a focal point, simply paint a large wall a patriotic color. This red wall gets center-stage attention while white and blue shelving, and bright white walls and doors keep the American flag colors in style all year long.
6. Brighten up the kitchen
